- Is it difficult for them to sit in their chair at school or home? (postural control)
- Do they have difficulty with toileting?
- Are they prone to emotional outbursts? (emotional maturity)
- Do they chew on non edible objects? drooling? choking? food pocketing? (oral-motor skills)

Reflex Integration is a therapy that addresses these and many other issues. The Masgutova Method originated in Poland, but it is time that the children in the Southeast are able to gain access to this therapy. Contact me for more information and to set up an evaluation.
